The Poster Session provides an opportunity for the presenter to engage in discussion with small
groups of interested viewers. Be prepared to answer specific questions and to address details
of your work. Software or hardware demonstrations are welcomed and encouraged
(see below for further information).
Poster Space:
A 1.8 m wide x 1.2 m tall (6 x 4 ft) board is assigned to each Poster Session paper.
Pushpins will be provided to attach your material onto the poster boards.
Preparation Guidelines:
- The title of your paper should appear in block letters which are 2.5 to 5 cm high
(1-2 in, 110-220 point). The remaining text should be at least 1 to 2 cm high (0.4-0.8 in, 44-88 pt) to be
easily legible to viewers who may stand as far as 2 meters (6½ ft) away. Each graph or chart should be at
least 28 x 21 cm (11 x 8.5 in) with text that is also readable from 2 meters (6½ ft) away.
- Plan on having an Introduction/Outline and a Summary/Conclusion clearly shown on your board.
Catch the attention of the attendee with bullet lists, charts, figures, tables, equations, and photographs
as applicable to highlight the important technical content of your paper.
- The use of color graphics, and headline style phrases in bullet charts will help the audience to
quickly see the theme and your intended message.
- It is a good idea to sequentially number your posted material, or use arrows to indicate the flow of material.
This will indicate to the viewer a logical progression through your presentation.
- Strictly follow the Poster Session schedule so that you can meet the Session Chairperson, find your assigned
location and arrange your materials on the poster board. Authors must be available for discussion during the entire
session. The material should be removed promptly at the conclusion of the session.
- It is very helpful to have paper copies of your written submission to the Symposium Digest available for visitors
to take with them. Presenters often provide their business cards and solicit the cards of their visitors so they may
correspond in the future.
Additional Requests:
Additional items required for your presentation (such as AC power) may also be made available
at your board. These requests will be addressed on an individual basis. Email your request to either Poster Session Chair by 18 December, 2009.
Special Needs:
If you have special needs, let us know what your requirements are and we will look into the feasibility of providing these. Email your Special Need request to the Poster Session Chair by 18 December, 2009.
